Why do you even want to play a game that have pvp options or even a online game?
Good question, a worthy question.
Almost all of the best Sandbox MMOs are PvP. So if you like/love PvP and also like/love experiencing a virtual reality in regards to altering the environment, REAL crafting, realistic virtual living, then you are all set. Especially it seems in Xsyon.
But what if you want to experience everything a sandbox MMO has to offer EXCEPT PvP/PK (to me there is absolutely no difference)?
Then you are screwed like me. I love sandbox MMOs except for the killing characters part. If you can't understand why I am this way or why I can't PvP, well even I am not completely sure myself, all I can say is it is the way I am. All I know is it makes me sick even to watch it take place in a MMO even if I don't participate. I am not alone, there are other Players like myself, but generally Developers are of the PvP type and they don't understand us either.
Online games do NOT have to have any PvP at all.... they are just always made that way, the biggest reason is that Players enjoy killing each other in a game where the Law doesn't show up to arrest them for the activity. I seriously have never heard a single argument that proves to me that we must kill in online games... it's just how they have been done. There is infact many other possibilities that Developers and Players have never considered much.
I
STILL crave a sandbox MMO style virtual world. I have played Wurm and loved most of it, and Xsyon looks like the next generation, new and improved, yet it's own unique world. I will be watching Xsyon from a far, and if it appears that there will be a place for me, then I will be spending a lot of time there. If Xsyon looks too hostile for the likes of me then I will be waiting again for years for another sandbox MMO.
In the meantime, enjoy Xsyon, it does indeed look very good longterm, and that compliment is coming from a Player that hates PvP in all forms. I will not ask that Xsyon be changed for the sake of Players like myself. Just keep Xsyon on it's heading and may fair winds keep your ship moving swiftly along to full feature release.
